Ebay Price: $102
Babies R Us Price: $162, including tax
Amount Saved: $60
Amount Left Before I Can Justify Buying My Joya Rocking Chair: $214
This is obviously brand new. It was recommended in the Baby Bargains book and has excellent reviews.
*An explanation of Thrifty Thursdays:
According to my readers, I should spend approximately $300 on a rocking chair. I've already admitted that I'll be spending a whoppin' $1,000. That's a difference of $700.
To offset this $700, I plan on saving money elsewhere. Every week, I'll buy something for the baby from Craigslist or Ebay, and the amount of money I save will go toward this $700 difference. So, say I score a $200 stroller on Craigslist for $100. The $100 that I saved will be "banked," and I'll have to save $600 more to justify purchasing my glorious rocking chair. For a more in-depth explanation, see this post.

So- I just had to come tell you, since I know you'll appreciate what a good deal I got today! I got a practically brand new (used once or twice according to seller) medela pump in style for 75!!!! AND from the same woman I got a Moby wrap for 10! Now I just need to get new tubing and valves for the pump and after that it will be a savings of $260 by my calculations :)
Dang, Courtney! Nice finds! Now you can really splurge on something and not feel an ounce of guilt! :D
How did you pick out this particular mattress? I'm completely mystified as to what to get...
Kate, have you checked out the Baby Bargains book? http://www.amazon.com/Baby-Bargains-Secrets-furniture-maternity/dp/1889392405
It's nice, because they did all the research for me—and they recommend this mattress.
